Blue Heron Golf Course

We left the course after Hole #15, that took us 5 hours!!!

The tournament players in front of us ...were so drunk, laying down on the tee boxes, stumbling around.

We reported this to the club house, and they did nothing ....only served more alcohol to the players.

They have a nice clubhouse, sorry to say that their is no management that cares,

We will never play there again !!

They served me the wrong breakfast, and still charged us, that should have been my 1st clue

I grew up out in the valley and have played this course hundreds of times. This is not the course I grew up on. The tee boxes were overgrow to the point that I felt I was teeing up in the rough. The greens were super slow and in desperate need of a trim. The fairways were full of old grass clippings.

Please fix these issues as I really love this course and think it is a really fun place to play.

The all course was and still underwater but Golfnow continue to sell rounds.

This course is great for the money. However, the condition is not great. The greens are full of speed bumps and very rarely do you have a putt that doesn’t hit some rough patches. The back 9 was finally open, often times gets flooded out from the Snoqualmie River. The fairways were in the best condition I’ve ever seen here and are aguably in better condition than some of the more expensive courses around. I will definitely play this course again.

First round at Heron and loved it. Nestled along the Snoqualmie River South of Carnation. Had the course to myself and was most impressed with how quiet it was the entire round.

it would have been alot better if you told me the course was so wet the front nine was closed from a flood so i'm not happy with your part in this it cost me 60.00 for us to play a 9 hole swamp !!!!!

I thought I would give Blue Heron a try again to see if it had improved since my last round there a couple of years ago. It hasn't. The fairways were about as long as you would expect the rough to be and the greens were longer than you would expect a fairway to be. I realize that it is winter and maintenance is tough but this really was a waste of time. No roll whatsoever in the fairways and the greens were patchy and long. The greens were so bad you could hit a chip exactly where you wanted and it was likely to hit a bad spot and kick 90 degrees to the side. I won't be back.

New ownership transformed this course into a very playable, and enjoyable experience. They fixed the flooding problem that used to make it unplayable in winter and spring. Now it's dry and very well maintained. They changed the course layout

and there are several interesting and challenging holes. This course is for all skill levels. The clubhouse is new and includes a wonderful restaurant and bar for inside dining or on the large deck overlooking the course. I have to travel 15 miles to play here but it's worth the drive. The entire staff is very friendly.

Back 9 closed since last Sunday. Greens were not cut. Slowest green I have ever played. Fairways were not cut. Constantly looking for my own ball on fairway. Too much fallen leaves. I lost many balls in rough and fairway. Too many golfers because back 9 were closed. It was complete waist of my time and money. If I knew the back 9 were closed, I did not go there. I want my money back.

The staff was pleasant and that was the highlight. The greens were burned up, bare spots, and poor at best. The fairways were terrible. The carts were the worst. Don't bother playing. You will regret it; we did.

I played this course with my family on Sunday. This was the worst course I have ever played on. The whole course was weeds and leaves. You spend more time looking for balls because the fairways are so thick and full of weeds. The t-boxes are complete sand. The greens are almost all dirt and bumpy. Holes all over the greens. I would not even rate this a 1 star but I had to. i wouldn't recommend this course at all.

The first words of every review are the most important.

As a result, I wanted to be as careful as possible not to taint the kindness of the people who golf here, the friendly young gal who greeted me at the pro shop on the day I decided to try this place out or possibly the many people who "tried" to make this an option in the Seattle area for golf.

However, I have to say the first word that came to mind after I started walking into the fairway of hole #1 was "skanky." As I was driving home, I told myself I would look up the definition of the word to make sure that by no means that it would be derogatory or degrading by any means. Merriam-Webster defines it as:

1 slang :repugnantly filthy or squalid

AND

2 slang :of low or sleazy character

It's definitely not the 2nd definition, but after I upload the photos I managed to take before walking off the course after 9, you might just agree it matches the definition.

On this beautiful Sunday in late Sunday, I was greeted by 6 kind young men who let me "play through." They knew they would take a bit of time and gave me the chance to finish before I puked in disgust. I was helped by 2 other groups of kind folks who also let me play through and despite the 2-5 balls I would hit on each of the front 9 holes, I got it done in record time.

Now, bear in mind, I like good courses. I used to be a member of Sahalee and I've learned over time, since golf takes up quite a bit of time, you should choose carefully.

When I was inspired to play this past weekend, I had no idea why this course that was priced at $54 a round could be priced at $23. It seemed like a rare opportunity. There were most tee times in the $40's and $50's and I thought I was just lucky.

However, all my golfing buddies along with me had never heard of this place.

I now know why.

Beyond fairways that remind me of the worst cut lawns in our area, the greens are basically well trimmed roughs posing as the end of the hole. Using your putter is a waste because the "green" has balls bouncing all the way to the hole. You might as well chip.

There were many trenches around greens.

There were blackberry bushes lining hole 9 for 300 yards.

And there was the clubhouse that had an arrow that pointed to the left, but should have pointed upwards since the pro shop was on the 2nd floor.

Either the owner(s) of this place don't care or they simply don't know what golf is.

At all costs, if you care about golf, you might want to truly reconsider if you decide and "take a chance" on this place.

However, with all this said, this is a PERFECT place for anyone who is wanting to literally "learn the game" or "practice with your 5 year olds" or even take 5 strokes for every shot.

I might leave my putter at home though.

And make sure you bring a ton of balls...then again, you might find a ton while playing the holes adjacent to the driving range.

Speaking of, the range might be the best thing next to the kind people playing and working here. It's off the grass (from what I saw). However, driving 30 minutes in from downtown Issaquah isn't worth it, in my mind.

Sorry folks, but for the sake of your employees and the future people who might "take a chance:"

Start maintaining this course or take it off the list of golf courses in Seattle.

Seriously.

Most of the greens are in rough shape, the course fairways are in terrible shape, lost a few balls in the middle of fairways because of holes in them.

The worst conditions on the greens I have seen in 4 years playing the course. Dead, dry and not much fun. They do now have electric carts, which is a real plus.

First I would like to say thank you too the new owners, anyone who puts their time, effort and money into keeping a golf course around is something we all should appreciate and admire, cause once they bulldoze, its gone forever. I began golfing here in 1984 when it was the Carnation golf course, the holes are the same except they switched the 9s and made the 438 yrd 12th (old 3rd) a par 5(was a 4). I like the layout and it played fast and brown, just like its supposed too. but the greens were slower and softer than the way they should of been so was expecting hard holding greens but got soft receptacle ones which was kinda strange but its very beautiful with no houses around the course and i will return

Terrible course. No fairways, weeds everywhere. Brown spots on greens. Course is not taken care of. Staff was very friendly.

Very difficult to walk your scores especially from the tips
